Enable/Disable Custom Object Sync

Last update: April 10, 2025

Custom Objects created in your Salesforce instance can be part of Marketo Engage, too. Here’s how to set it up.

Enable/Disable Custom Object Sync

NOTE
Admin permissions required

  1. Go to the Admin area.

  2. In the Database Management menu, click Salesforce Objects Sync.

  3. If this is your first Custom Object, click Sync schema. Otherwise click Refresh Schema to ensure you have the latest.

  4. If your global sync is running you will have to disable it by clicking Disable Global Sync.

    NOTE
    A sync of the Salesforce custom object schema may take a few minutes.

  5. Click Refresh Schema.

  6. Select the object you wish to sync and click Enable Sync.

    TIP
    Marketo can only sync a custom object if it has a direct relationship with the Lead, Contact or Account object in Salesforce.

  7. Click Enable Sync again.

  8. Go back to the Salesforce tab and click Enable Sync.
